Saving Grace
warmup:
2000m row
workout:
"Grace"
For time,
30 clean & jerks, 135#
SS: 95#, 4:15
KL: 95#, 4:24
L-pullup ladder
SS & KL: 5
3x12 (roughly)each arm walking overhead lunges, 35#
Well, Grace was the WOD a few days ago, so I wanted to try it out for myself. We didn't do too bad, but we probably should have upped the weight. We actually did a few reps at 135# after finishing just to check it out. I'm pretty sure I couldn't have done it, but I think 105 , or possibly 115 was within reach. With the addition of the L-pullups and the one arm walking lunges this workout ended up being nicely whole body. My legs are definitely going to feel it tomorrow.

Crazy times! Nice work edging out our longtime leader on that one Scott. Were you thinking about your shin Kenway?
Well Kenway also took a break to let some old guy fuddle with his bench bar. I'll take what victories I can get though.
Bah! Rest is rest, nice work Scott...
I feel like 135# as rx is a doable goal next time around - it surely won't be under 6:00 but it'll be good.
Crazy, just jerking and receiving 135# 30 times would be painful, let alone cleaning it from the floor every time. That's hardcore!
These were all power cleans today. I think at 135# I'd have to switch over to full squat cleans somewhere in the middle.
yeah. I wouldn't be able to push press my way to the end either. I'd have to start doing real push jerks, or split jerks.
A look at the archives reveals that very few people do this as Rx'd (full squat cleans); even the official demo videos are power cleans (practically muscle cleans ridden into quarter squats).
Scott, split jerks are alot slower than push jerks, so the latter are probably ideal for keeping the time down. And you did the whole thing push pressing?!?
Yeah, I just can't get the push jerk to feel natural. As long as my muscles don't fail it's just easier to push press
